It certainly was not obvious. You said *32-bit* 13.2 *machine*. That means 32 bit hardware, not 32 bit software on 64 bit hardware.
I understood it perfectly. Because it's *obvious* you cannot run 64-bit software on a 32-bit processor, he *had* to mean "on 64-bit hardware running 32-bit openSUSE 13.2".
But then again, I also don't assume that the person who's writing something is an idiot unless and until proven otherwise. Richard is no idiot.
I know that, which is why I was so bewildered at what he was saying.
You need to learn how to understand what people are writing. It's not a difficult thing to understand given all the facts - and these are facts that you know. So, for example, doing a really close parsing of Richard's phrase "32-bit 13.2 machine" - 32-bit is an adjective that modifies "13.2" (which should be clear that he means 'openSUSE 13.2' and not, say, XBMC 13.2. But given your prediliction to finding ways to misinterpret things, I wouldn't be surprised if you were thinking XBMC instead of openSUSE). It doesn't modify "machine". "32-bit [openSUSE] 13.2". "Machine" in this case would be a system that fits the criteria of being capable of running 32-bit openSUSE 13.2 *and* the current milestone of 64-bit openSUSE Leap 42.1. Which is /not/ a 32-bit system - because a 32-bit system cannot run a 64- bit operating system. Like Richard, I'm also getting very tired of your argumentative approach to *every* *single* discussion you participate in, whether it's overparsing a sentence or arguing edge cases that don't apply to the main thrust of a discussion, you always find a way to "contribute" to a discussion, and frequently that contribution is entirely content-free and doesn't help one bit. So, like Richard, I'm also going to take a break from your posts for a while.
